Chocolate Cookie Milkshake Pops!

Have you ever had a cookie
milkshake? It’s as delicious as it sounds. And easy too. Simply place some ice
cream, milk and your cookies of choice into a blender and whip it up. Add some
whole or chopped cookies and whipped cream for garnish and you have a cookie
milkshake!

I’m a big fan because you can
actually taste the flavors of your chosen cookie in the milkshake, making for
a nice change from the usual. And, of course, the possibilities are endless.

I love to riff on this idea by
making cookie milkshake popsicles. They are just as easy, and I love having
batches of these treats in my freezer for indulging any time. (Maybe I
shouldn’t love this so much?)

This recipe highlights one of my
very favorite cookies: chocolate wafers. As a child, I could eat these by the
handful and I love the way their flavor shines through in these rich and
refreshing pops.

A milkshake on a stick? Not the worst
thing to happen to your week!
